Internal and External Dispersal of Plants by Animals: An Aquatic Perspective on Alien Interference
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Many alien plants use animal vectors for dispersal of their diaspores (zoochory). If alien plants interact with native disperser animals, this can interfere with animal-mediated dispersal of native diaspores.

Frugivory and Seed Dispersal by Carnivorans
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Seed dispersal is critical to the ecological performance of sexually reproducing plant species and the communities that they form. The Mammalian order Carnivora provide valuable and effective seed dispersal services but tend to be overlooked in much of ...

Effects of Aeschynomene histrix Poir. seed treatment on germination
Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2021 Description of the subject. Poor germination associated with physical dormancy was experienced in the legume Aeschynomene histrix Poir. seeds and can reduce the establishment and growth of this species. Objectives. To evaluate the effects of different

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2005 Seed dispersal via ingestion and defecation by large herbivores provides a possible aid for ecological restoration of plant communities, by connecting source communities of target species with habitat restoration sites. It is also a possible threat due to invasion of weeds, grasses or exotic species.

SeedsInternal transport (endozoochory) and external transport (epizoochory) by migratory waterbirds are key mechanisms of long-distance dispersal for seeds and other diaspores of plants lacking a fleshy fruit.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 How flightless animals disperse to remote oceanic islands is a key unresolved question in biogeography. The flightless Pachyrhynchus weevils represent repetitive colonization history in West Pacific islands, which attracted our interests about how some ...

Dispersal mechanisms in Lavandula stoechas subsp. pedunculata: autochory and endozoochory by sheep [PDF]
Seed Science Research, 2002 It is normally assumed that Lavandula stoechas subsp. pedunculata (Miller) Samp. ex Rozeira (Labiatae) is dispersed by autochory in spite of the clear pioneer nature of the species. This paper examines the efficiency of autochorous dispersal (seed rain) and the possibility that the species is also dispersed endozoochorally by sheep.

Ciência Rural, 2018 : The objective of this study was to evaluate endozoochory dispersal, recuperation, and germination of weedy rice (Oryza sativa L.) and barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli L.) seeds passed through the digestive system of cattle.

An omnivorous mesopredator modifies predation of omnivore‐dispersed seeds
Ecosphere, 2021 Post‐dispersal seed predation is an important determinant of plant recruitment. Although many plant species are dispersed following consumption by omnivorous vertebrates, the potential for these dispersal agents to indirectly affect seed fate by ...
